    Qatar FC

    Other than the moral aspect, I fully disagree. I think @delancey made the same point (despite being a Barca fan himself). Why shouldn't sates be allowed to own clubs? Because they can spend more money? Also, as I said and you ignored, wouldn't clubs like Brentford, Newcastle, Ipswich, Leganes...

    Y It's true that losing the full backs fucked you. But my point is injuries happen - you have to be prepared for that. Yeah Martin did play badly in general play, so I was being misleading there.

    Qatar FC

    Yeah, if they played in France they would have. If Madrid were competing against Man City and Liverpool at their peak (I know Madrid peaks several years before those sides did) then it's less clear cut, and I think they'd still have struggled to win leagues. And, again, your point is proved...

    Qatar FC

    If you say so - I hate human rights abusers, but to me the moaning about clubs like City, PSG and Newcastle comes from 'traditional clubs' (and yes I include Barca in that). There's a lot of sour grapes about PSG on this forum because of Barca's dreadful financial predicament- I like Barca but...

    Qatar FC

    That's less to do with them playing in a strong league and more to do with Madrid themselves being a cup team/club. Barca generally win the league alongside the CL.

    Qatar FC

    What sort of argument is that? Yeah, take away a few of a team's better players and they'll be weaker, there's a shock. And Balde and Kounde are nowhere near Mendes and Hakimi in quality anyway. I know it's Barcaforum but call a spade a spade. Plus Balde is more injury prone than those players -...

    Qatar FC

    Other than Pep and Enrique's Barcas - as I mentioned above - and Pep's Man City, I cannot see who is better. I said it above, it's unfair on them as they get no credit for winning the domestic league, so they have to win the CL every season to be taken seriously. But I think they could win any...

    True, I was just jesting. Normally agree with you 99 percent of the time on football.

    Women's football

    Sweden v Germany tonight. Both qualified already. Winner tops the group. A draw means Sweden are top on account of superior goal difference.

    Yeah exactly. The nature of the human (well, most humans) is to take as much as they can get. If they can get more they will take it.

    Yeah without delving into red pill and incel stuff, I do view feminism as a supremacy movement, not equality. They want all the perks of being a woman and none of the cons.

    Kylian Muppet

    True. But amazingly I still think he'd be a better bet than building around Vini or Bell. All three are very overrated and flawed, for me. And all three are delusional, precious, and think they're far better than they are, fuelled by a media and social media culture that builds up merely...

    Plus is Mbappe really worth that sort of sacrifice? More than Vini is I think, but I am still not convinced. They got away with it with Ronaldo because of his insane goalscoring prowess. Mbappe isn't that level of GOAT scorer and has less to his game than Penaldo. He won't scab as many big...

    To be fair, Ronaldo's 'mentality' seems to desert him in many CL Finals or every time Portugal go out of a tournament. He's came up big in other games but those games are a black mark for him generally.

    Club World Cup

    Not getting involved in the debate, but just seen playmaking was reduced to assists by Birdy. Yeah that is not true and one of my pet peeves. Assists are often a poor barometer of playmaking and creativity. Haaland gets more assists than Iniesta. Forward players tend to get basic, easy assists...

    Diego Maradona

    Think it's more to do with style of play and mentality. Maradona was more extravagant and more of a showboater/showman at times, like Ronaldinho. Like the rabonas and overhead kicks and stuff. Messi has a very simple, economical style of football and dribbling. He doesn't try anything overly...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Two extremely important goals, really. The Chelsea goal that kickstarted Pep's Barca's brilliance, and the goal that won the World Cup. The guy is a genius and one of the best players of all time. Also, Andres and Arjen have been bald for even longer than me @Fati_Future_BallonDor

    Women's football

    Yeah I alluded to that before, as we discussed. I am not criticising her, just saying I hope she gets back to her best before tournament finishes, so I can enjoy watching her at her best.

    Etoo or Ibrahimovic

    According to some people though football and footballers automatically get better over time. Because stuff like cars and runners do, or something.
